Belichick is Coach of the Year

total crap...this guy cheats and is fined and even docked a 1st round pick and still gets the coach of the year?

It is all about W and L, nothing about integrity or character....obviously.

All teams cheat to a point. If a WR catches a ball and knows he is out of bounds he should show the integrity to say so or the lineman who grabs a little jersy so the ref cannot see it is cheating etc... Every team does cheat the rules to a point but if its not pointed out by the Refs then its ok in the eyes of the players. Heck even sometime coaches and players will hurry to spike the ball so the Refs cannot get the right call. You can call that good playing but if you are knowingly breaking a rule and do not say so then why is that not a character or integrity issue?

Belichick shouldn't get it for the simple fact that he cheated. I don't care if it didn't really change the team from going 16-0. He cheated. Case closed. I'm for the asterisk.

I dont understand how BB didnt get all 50 votes. He did something that has not been done in a long, long, long time, going undefeated in the regular season.

It a regular season award, he was perfect in the regular season. This was the biggest no brainer in the history of awards.

Maybe because he's a royal a-hole?

If the requirements to be coach of the year are defined as being an arrogant self absorbed jerk. A coach who promotes poor sportsmanship and disdain for professionalism. Openly participating in disgusting schemes to cheat, and showing malice and contempt for the authorities of the league.

Then yes, they gave it to the right man. (and he should have gotten all 50 votes)

I'm not suprised, he may be the biggest a-hole in the league but he deserves recognition for going 16-0.

not a chance this went to anyone else...

Can I assume you think it ok for a voter to with hold a vote because he doesnt like a guy no matter how deserving of the award the guy is?

I guess I dont know the guy to know for sure if he's really an a-hole or not. He isnt the most warm person on the field or to the media but thats the public persona and the private person are not necessarily the same.

I never said it was ok, just throwing out a reason why some people might not have voted for him. Right or wrong, some voters might take those sort of things in to account.
